Time always passed too fast, and before she knew it, Cyndia had been home for three or four days - of course, in other words, the two Merova prisoners of war had been imprisoned in the fourth area for three or four days.
According to previous mental state records of prisoners, three days is the limit of time that an intelligent creature with the toughest spirit can persist in the fourth area. However, the two Merova prisoners of war are said to have undergone comprehensive transformation, and the degree of transformation was even partial.
It affects the soul level, so they may last longer? But I don’t think it will be too long. Everything in the fourth area is the result of Lilina’s careful design, and every criminal who is sent to the fourth area
All they receive are "punishments" that specifically target the mental weaknesses of intelligent creatures. Faced with this extreme environment, I think simple brainwashing and mental strengthening training will not have much effect.
As for the captured Merova fighter, it is still in the second research room, and the work of reading its core is progressing slowly. The data encryption technology of the Merova people was directly inherited from the old empire. This is a huge
Trouble, all our scanning equipment has encountered targeted defense methods. At present, it seems that the fastest way to open the navigation computer is to find a breakthrough point from the two prisoners of war. So I came to the fourth area again
——Although the atmosphere of this place makes me feel really uncomfortable.
Lilina now spends half of every day in Area 4. She personally observes the mental state of the two prisoners of war and determines when to give them the level of stimulation. This mentally disturbed guy enjoys this job endlessly.
Even when eating at home, she would suddenly let out a suspicious and sinister laugh - I have to be lucky that this guy is under his control, otherwise it would be a humanitarian disaster wherever he throws her.
"If I weren't the boss, I would be like them sooner or later." Lilina said to me in the monitoring room of the fourth area, that is, the weird office. We were waiting for the jailer to take the two prisoners out of the prison area.
And I just mentioned this girl's psychological problem. She didn't shy away from my words, but pointed directly to the cell shown on the surveillance screen, "I will become a guy who is more of an asshole than them, and then be locked up in the same cell."
In his cell, he died a hundred times a day."
It seems that this girl is somewhat self-aware. Whenever I hear her words like this, I always feel a little uncomfortable, so I reach out and hit Lilina on the head. The latter looks up and smiles stupidly: "But
Don’t worry, boss. I’m a demigod and I have strong self-control. I won’t do anything that is prohibited by the boss.”
At this moment, a hoarse and low voice came from the side: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Lord Warden. The prisoners have been brought."
I turned my head following the sound and saw the two skeleton prisoners wearing clown masks and costumes of kings and queens. After getting to know Lilina two days ago, I knew that these two tyrants who had ordered tens of thousands of civilians to be cooked alive were from District 4.
The best-performing light-duty criminals were chosen as jailers by Lilina. They have to serve here until they pay off the major crimes they have committed before they can be released. The fourth area is like hell in religious legends. Everything here is...
Following the rules of hell. It is very common here for the living dead to have the identity of both prisoners and jailers and to atone for their sins in hell for hundreds of years.
The two Merova prisoners were behind the two skeleton jailers. They were wearing pulse chains that flashed blue light. Their faces were pale and weak, but their faces were very clean, without even a scratch - this does not mean that they were not injured.
It can only mean that these two guys were resurrected just once before being brought here. And they didn't have time to be torn into minced meat by other prisoners. Their original uniforms had been destroyed when they were thrown into the acid pool a few days ago.
Now the two of them are wearing the prison uniforms of the Fourth District. Lilina has designed different clothing for each type of prisoner. The prison uniform of the special prisoner is a furry bear suit, which even includes a gray fur hat.
These cartoon-like costumes were put on the two prisoners who looked like the living dead. In addition to being weird, it was still weird.
"Stay here, don't leave yet," Lilina waved to the two jailers, telling the two skeletons to wait in the corner. She then cast her eyes on the two Merova prisoners of war, "How are you, living here
Are you still used to it?"
The eyes of the two prisoners of war were dull, and they seemed to be unable to understand human speech. They only nodded slightly in response to the external voices. Lilina just chuckled when she saw this: "Stop pretending, you are blessed.
You won’t go crazy, you won’t be comatose, you won’t lose your five senses, you won’t even feel sleepy. Who are you kidding with your demented appearance?”
It is estimated that only Lilina can use the blessing of life to achieve this effect - but I also discovered one thing. When she was in the fourth area, she never spoke in the name of the goddess. This is probably her only reason.
It’s one of those self-rules I have.
"You... lunatic..." A prisoner wearing a bear suit looked at Lilina fiercely. His voice was weak. Although the tone was fierce, it was not threatening at all. After several days of torture, the barrier in his mind
Already crumbling.
"How about, tell me how to turn on the navigation computer," Lilina sat leisurely across from the two prisoners, "so you don't have to suffer. There has never been a prisoner in the fourth area who can leave alive, but maybe
You two can be an exception - if you're willing to talk."
The two prisoners responded with silence. I could tell that their spirits had actually collapsed, but some kind of reflex effect caused by long-term brainwashing made them subconsciously keep their mouths shut in this situation. Lilina squinted her eyes, as if
After calculating what the best punishment would be now, she smiled: "Speaking of which, you haven't eaten for several days, right?"
The two prisoners looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what this sentence meant: For the environment in the fourth area, "hunger" is not a punishment at all. It is just a normal state. However, Lilina had specifically ordered
They were not allowed to eat... Even the prisoner fight at twelve o'clock every day couldn't make the two of them talk. What effect could such a "starvation" punishment have? In the eyes of these two prisoners, the crazy warden in front of them
All orders are basically elusive, so they choose to remain silent.
"Now you can eat," Lilina looked at the two prisoners with a smile, "Guard, chop off their hands."
"What are you going to do?!" a prisoner finally couldn't help shouting. Everything he experienced during the few days in the fourth area must have made him think of something - something quite chilling.
"Here's a meal for you," Lilina spread her hands, "Resources in the Fourth District are tight. You need to solve the food problem yourself. Now, do you want to guess now? What you will eat in your mouth later will be your own meat.
, or..." As she spoke, her eyes swept over the two of them alternately: "Or is it another person's flesh? Oh, I was touched. Is this the deep love between comrades? In prison, we used flesh to each other.
After eating each other, both of them were able to survive in the end, tsk tsk... Jailer, why are you still standing there! King, go prepare the stove, Queen. Take out your meat cleaver! The prisoners also need to eat!"
I felt nauseous and thought it was time to drag Lilina down, but before I could take action, the Merova prisoners finally had a complete mental breakdown, and one of them softened: "Okay... I said..."
Lilina waved her hand to make the two skeletons retreat, and said in the mental connection: "To scare them, sometimes psychological shock is more effective than physical pain."
I nodded and tried to recall the scene of blood and flesh flying on the battlefield - I stayed in Area 4 for a long time and needed something light to spice things up.
Hmm... adjust it a bit.
The two Merova prisoners of war were escorted out of the fourth area. The moment they saw the sky outside, the two brainwashed enemy soldiers cried with joy. Even though the chains on their bodies burst out with violent pulses, they still trembled and knelt down.
Come down and kiss the ground, Lilina stood aside and watched with cold eyes, without urging or punishing: because the punishment was over. She would not impose any sanctions on those who left the fourth area. Although he seemed to be a rather unreliable and moody guy.
But Lilina's paranoia in terms of "justice" is also surprising. She abides by a set of laws in District 4 - even though this set of laws is a bit cruel and terrifying.
"So - if you don't do it, you won't die." Lilina waited for the two prisoners of war to get up, and said slowly, "Cherish your lives. After you really make a big mistake, there will be no chance to recover."
Yes, hell exists and is always open. Everyone is on the list waiting for trial... I'm sorry for the occupational disease. Boss, please take them to the headquarters."
"Aren't you coming with me?" Lilina, who had been joining in the fun for thousands of years, actually took the initiative to say goodbye, which made me a little surprised.
"I want to go to the temple to bless the common people." Lilina said with a smile.
Me: "...You just came out of District 4, is your mental state okay?"
Lilina was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head: "Boss, do you know that judging from their respective work scopes, the goddess of life is also the god of death?"
I:"?"
"Don't worry, I'm already crazy, so I won't get any crazier," Lilina put on her heartless smile and turned towards the direction of the Temple of the Goddess of Life. Her tone instantly changed to that...
Low and soft, with a compassionate tone when preaching, "Penpose hell to the guilty and grant heaven to the meritorious. The balance here is to reward the good and punish the evil. After dealing with the sinners, I should go and bless the world..."
I:"……"
A few minutes later, the two Merova prisoners were transported to the headquarters, where Sandora had been waiting for a long time.
"So, these two people finally decided to cooperate?" Sandora looked at the expressions on the faces of the two prisoners of war. After hearing what happened in the fourth area, she had an expected look on her face, "
Well, it’s faster than expected, so, you know what to do, right?”
Her eyes fell on the Merova prisoner of war, who now completely lost the tough and fearless attitude at the beginning. After hearing Sandora's words, the two prisoners of war just nodded mechanically: "We will
To activate the navigation computer, it requires soul identification, which is...a technology learned from the Empire."
The answers were very honest, and there was no resistance at all. It seemed that every bit of their brainwashing barrier was destroyed, and what little will they had was probably worn away. I guess even if an unrelated passerby randomly came by and asked them to
If you go to commit suicide, they will do it too.
Sandora frowned. She believed in the power of Area 4, but she didn't quite believe in the reliability of the Merova people: "If you play tricks and destroy the coordinate data when starting the navigation computer..."
"I'll call Qianqian over," I waved, "It's so simple to go back in time."
Sandora slapped her head: "Oh, I forgot."
The two Merova prisoners of war looked at each other. They were obviously stunned when they heard that there was still time to trace back such a buggy thing: No matter whether these two people had any intention of playing tricks before, they must have been given up now.
.
As soon as Qian Qian heard that there was a lot of fun here, she rushed straight to the headquarters in an instant. Then she looked at the two Merovas curiously, and after studying for half a minute, she made a comment: "Tch, they actually have two eyes and one nose.
I have been thinking about it for several days."
...I basically can't imagine what she imagined the Merova people to be like. This girl still retains the beautiful image of a little green man in her mind.
After briefly understanding their mission, the two Merova prisoners of war were brought to their fighter plane. I don’t know if it was an illusion. The two prisoners of war seemed to have aged several times when they saw the fighter plane. Well, think about it carefully.
I think this is normal. They were caught driving this thing. Now they are thinking about things. They must have a feeling that once was difficult to overcome. But now there is no time to remember them. Sandora is beside them gently.
With a cold snort, the two prisoners of war trembled as if they had been electrocuted, and climbed in.
At this moment, Qian Qian set a restoration point for the time and space of the fighter plane. No matter what happens later, she can ensure that the fighter plane returns to its normal state: Although I don't think the two Merova prisoners of war still have the intention to play tricks, but
No matter how you look at it, these precautions are necessary. By the way, Qian Qian likes this restoration skill the most when watching TV. She watches live broadcasts as videos...
The military experts at the scene connected the data detection equipment to the Merova fighter. Soon, a slight buzzing sound came from the flat oval aircraft, and its core was restarting. A moment later, nearby
A large amount of data began to be continuously refreshed on the scanning terminal. A senior assistant technician translated the data and nodded to us: "It is a coordinate database, very detailed, and the navigation computer has also been unlocked."
"Copy the entire database," Sandora nodded and breathed lightly, "In addition, the third legion is on standby. Prepare for the expedition."
Soon, we got a detailed territorial map of the Merova people. By visual inspection, this territorial map covers at least 80% of the world of the Merova people - of course it cannot be 100% detailed. An empire general
There are some places that ordinary soldiers have no right to know, but this has no impact on us. Experts will soon roughly calculate the data frequency bands occupied by each world in Melova based on this territory map, and then calculate their entire
How big can the empire's maximum range be? We can seal off the entire corresponding void area.
When the two Merova prisoners of war came out of the fighter plane, their eyes were dull, like zombies. Their will was destroyed by the fourth area, and now their psychological foundation was destroyed by their own hands. When the home database was opened to the enemy, they had been brainwashed for a long time.
All the pillars that the transformation built in their hearts collapsed. I can imagine the mission of such brainwashed warriors: they have no value except loyalty. So now they are really zombies.
"What to do with these two prisoners of war?" I glanced at Sandora. According to regulations, this kind of prisoner of war, and a prisoner of war who has been issued an extermination order, must be executed, but I always feel that these two in front of me...
It doesn't make any difference whether you die or not. If you walk around the fourth district, how many times will you be sentenced to death?
"They should be executed, but they should be kept for the time being," Shandora seemed to have already made a plan. "They can still squeeze out some residual value. Take them with you on the expedition and take good care of them. I want to give the Merova people a big gift.
"
I glanced at Shandora, wondering what she was planning, but I didn't ask much. Anyway, with Her Majesty the Queen's stability, she couldn't make any mistakes.
The two prisoners of war were temporarily sent to a regular prison, preparing to be taken aboard the expedition fleet together. The Third Army had made arrangements a few days ago and is now ready to go on expeditions at any time. They only need to update the navigation system. Commander
The Ministry recoded the newly acquired Merova coordinate database, set it to a format commonly recognized by the empire, and input it into the expeditionary force's database - this hardly took much time, because we discovered that the navigation used by the Merova people
The system is very similar to the current navigation system of the Empire. It only needs a few detailed adjustments to be compatible. This is probably because they once learned from the Empire...
Everything they have on hand was inherited from the old empire. Although this will bring us a lot of trouble during the expedition, sometimes it can also bring a lot of convenience to the emperor.
After I returned home, I first announced the news that the world of Merova had been exposed, and then announced that the expedition was about to set off: "So... the fleet will set off in about a day or two. Who will follow this time?"
I raised my head and looked around the living room: "First of all, Sandora and I must go out. According to Sandora, Merova is the oldest vassal of the old empire after all, and it is appropriate for the two emperors to 'send off' them.
"
"I'll go, I'll go!" Qianqian jumped over without any surprise. She came back from Shadow City with me and had already shouted many times on the way. Of course I nodded in agreement. Then the two 1.2-meter-tall girls must have followed suit.
, Onee-sama, I don’t know if there is...
"I will stay behind," my sister said proactively without waiting for me to speak. "After you set off, the empire will switch to defense, so be careful of the small moves of the fallen apostles. Tavel has already found a way to connect my power to the garden of death, and I am just right
What is the effect of trying to deploy anti-shock nets across the entire border..."
I nodded silently, wondering if that guy Tavel was finally going to refresh the lower limit of imperial equipment again...
"I'll go with you, but before that...can I make a suggestion?"
Lin Xue was lying on the sofa holding a little crow and watching the animal world, when this sentence suddenly came out.
